The song I have sent you this week came from an idea I had when getting off the train in Liverpool and saw this guy busking in the subway\u2026.it\u2019s called \u201cSubway Songman\u201d.\n\nSugar is on the menu this week\u2026every time you turn on the TV or the radio we are getting reports of record tooth decay in kid\u2019s teeth\u2026all because of sugary fizzy drinks.\nIt\u2019s a miracle how guys of our age survived\u2026.I remember having sugar butties when I was a kid\u2026and drinking gallons of lemonade\u2026and I\u2019ve still got my teeth\u2026.they are saying that some kids have to have ALL there baby teeth out\u2026.and so the scare mongering continues\u2026and the dentists get richer\u2026.any day now we\u2019ll be back to the old humbug of lead in toys\u2026it\u2019s about time that cropped up again.\n\nSome genius has worked out that supermarkets are misleading us with their pricing\u2026.wow there\u2019s a surprise\u2026.isn\u2019t it called \u201cbusiness\u201d \u2026and if they can legally get away with something they will\u2026apparently they are saying that things are reduced when they are not\u2026.this has always been the case\u2026.the way the law used to be was you had to sell something at a certain price for 28 days before you could drop the price and call it a \u201creduction\u201d or \u201cSale\u2026you could then only sell it at the new price for 6 months before it was no longer a reduction or a sale\u2026get it?...confused?...yeah so is everyone else\u2026which makes one ask how these carpet firms have sales which go on forever?\n\nThe BBC have come under attack because they are going to put the licence fee up for those on a high salary or something\u2026they are complaining that people are not watching TV\u2026they watch their iPads etc\u2026.it has been suggested that they put adverts on which would subsidise the money they waste\u2026..but this was instantly rejected.\n\nWhat they need to do is put something on which is WATCHABLE instead of the tripe we are constantly subjected to\u2026.last Saturday I watched The John Bishop Show\u2026.oh dear \u2026 this was about as bad as it gets\u2026I like JB but he should go into acting because he isn\u2019t funny\u2026and the up and coming \u201ccomedians\u201d he has on are bysmal\u2026.annoyingly so\u2026\u2026HOWEVER after thinking comedy was dead and buried I watched Frank Skinner\u2019s \u201cman in a suit\u201d stand up and laughed for the whole hour\u2026he is so funny and clever\u2026.he should run classes for all the modern rubbish comics and show them how it\u2019s done.\n\nI was delighted to see Tommy Steele on The One Show\u2026..he is 78 and looks great\u2026..he really should be knighted\u2026.back in the day he was the only original pop star we had in this country\u2026all the others were Elvis clones\u2026.Tommy had his own style and has worked the big Christmas shows ever since\u2026.I\u2019ve got a lot of time for him and wish I\u2019d had the opportunity to meet him.\n\nBut alas like Doddy he has sadly been overlooked\u2026.much better to give knighthoods to those who really deserve it\u2026like Jimmy Savile or Rolph Harris?
